Humongous Lembeh Nudi

18 May 2013 - 01:18 PM

We ran across this nudibrach on the hull of the wreck in the harbor at Lembeh yesterday.  The thing is huge, easily 14 inches long.  This is shot with the Tokina 10-17.  My first wide angle nudi. :-) Any one know the name and details?  is it common?

Staying Connected -Hot Shoe Attachments

15 May 2013 - 02:57 AM

Hi folks,

Anyone have a slick way to keep your strobe firing circuit attached to your cameras hot shoe. Tape, velcro, rubber bands?   I lost a dive today because mine vibrated loose on the boat ride out to dive site.  Shooting 100mm macro with ambient is not very satisfying.  I've never had the problem before but I guessing I'm not the first.  How do you keep the hot shoe connected?

 

Cheers,

Steve


Conservation Organizations Who Need our Help?

04 April 2013 - 09:47 AM

I'm giving a presentation next month at LAUPS and want to give them a list of organizations that they can help with their money, personal involvement or images.  Which environmental organizations do you folks think are doing a great job and could use our support?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Iconic Underwater Images, Can you name them?

06 February 2013 - 06:48 PM

Hi folks,
I’m putting together a talk for the LAUPS for April and in it I mention the iconic photographs we’ve seen.  I got to wondering which images people here feel are really at that level.  The absolute best of the best, there may only be twenty or even fewer ever made.  When you think of the most memorable underwater photo you have ever seen, which ones come to mind?
